Do you know how many traps there are in the antique industry?

First, the antique industry is even more so. Are you an expert in the circle? Just watch what the other person is playing and wearing. Those who come to consult and appraise with porcelain, bronzes and various collections, even those who say nothing and wear nothing, can determine whether they are insiders or outsiders just by listening to the talk and looking at the method of getting the goods. For example, experts used to call it "bronze". If you call it "bronze" or bronze ware, you are considered an outsider. For example, laymen call it "blue and white porcelain" and experts call it "green flower"; Sheep fat white jade experts call it "sheep fat". When communicating, as long as the vocabulary is not an industry idiom, experts will know your level and treat you differently. Do not disclose any knowledge and information about antiques at all, and will not comment on the authenticity of the collection.

Second, some people who lack professional experience can't understand why merchants don't take the initiative to say hello and ignore strange customers, why experts are indifferent, and why experts won't take out real antiques or rare antiques for the other party to appreciate even if they have status and money. This is because experts don't know each other's basic identity information, and they don't know whether they know antiques. Even if he sold the real antiques to the other party, he didn't believe it, so he took the bought antiques and looked for someone to identify them everywhere. Some people identify authenticity, others identify authenticity, and different conclusions about authenticity will make collectors misunderstand the honest merchants. Because this industry, whether buying or selling or collecting, is confidential to the outside world, the purpose is to re-circulate in the future and ensure that the collection of personal information is not leaked. Therefore, buyers and sellers must trade on the basis of good faith, otherwise they will not communicate and trade, which is why business experts do not deal with strangers. Many merchants often think that selling fake goods is not as good as knowing that selling real goods is such a result! This is also the reason why many businesses switch to selling fakes.

Third, if you want to master professional knowledge, you must put down your worth and enter the circle with an open mind. If there is no real expert to guide you to enter the market, no one will tell you what the sale and collection of antiques are all about. Based on the theoretical knowledge of books, it is impossible to understand how complicated and despicable the methods and means of cheating in the market are, and collectors are undoubtedly at a loss. Too many collectors don't know that the essence of antique professional knowledge is not dissemination, not teaching. The reason mainly comes from experts' experience and vision, which was bought with money after long-term market practice and learned at the cost of decades of market practice.

Fourth, the disclosure of knowledge is equivalent to a lot of money, which is the universal value of antique dealers! After teaching his apprentice, he starved to death.

Therefore, the knowledge and experience of business experts must not be learned by outsiders. Once others understand it, they may bypass themselves and buy good and rare antiques directly, so that businesses lose their competitive advantage. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the industry.

In addition, if you don't enter the professional circle, you are easily misled by so-called experts, unable to keep up with the pace of counterfeiting, lagging behind the times and lacking scientific knowledge. When amateurs master these theories and essentials of counterfeiting by mistake, it will inevitably lead to putting the cart before the horse. Under this kind of misleading, they will undoubtedly buy fakes and hide fakes.

The "national treasure gang" buys fakes and hides fakes because they have not experienced this practical process. They didn't know from beginning to end that collecting antiques needs to enter the antique circle first and must go through the process of entering the industry. Know how to buy real antiques, where to buy real antiques, and how to collect these basic professional ways and methods to buy antiques? The "National Treasure Gang" treats fake antiques as antiques because their learning methods, collection channels and market practices are all wrong. You can't enter the antique market by relying on book knowledge, listening to lectures, looking at museum exhibits and simply mastering some theoretical essentials. They don't know that they are entering a fake antique market, not a professional market selling real antiques.

No matter how the national treasure gang communicates, identifies and appreciates the so-called genuine antiques, it has never made a key inspection of the authenticity of the collection, which means that the authenticity has not passed the market circulation inspection process. The collection does not circulate, does not enter the market, and is recognized by the market. It is meaningless to insist that your antiques are genuine or to ask anyone to identify them. The market is the decisive criterion for testing authenticity.

Sixth, the collection must first enter the professional circle, understand the industry rules in the field of antiques, learn how to obtain antiques, and learn how to talk and exchange transactions with business experts who sell real antiques; How do people who sell fake antiques exchange deals? To know how to touch porcelain in the market and how to fool fakes into genuine ones. It is necessary to understand how the antique industry makes traps, sets traps and puts mazes. When we entered the antique circle and went deep into the market practice, we basically understood some routines in the industry and passed thousands of true and false antiques. In order to avoid being cheated. This is an important way to collect real antiques.
